Soffit, fascia and eaves protect your roofing and home structure.

One of the most important components of your Calgary roofing system, soffits, fascia and eaves troughs offer protection for the edge of your roof, as well as a seamless appearance. The expert team at A two Z Windows and Doors can improve the functionality performance of your roof.

Here’s how they work:

Fascia helps create a barrier between the edge of your Calgary roof, protecting it from the outside elements and pests. They sit behind gutters underneath the edge. Usually, aluminum or fibre-cement board is used.

Soffit extends just out the side of the roof edge and then to the edge of the eaves trough system. It seals the framed space underneath your roof’s surface up against the outside walls to the fascia boards. Typically, these are made of aluminum as well, or fibre cement board. Soffit is brilliant because the small holes you see provide ventilation to your attic, drawing away excess heat and moisture. This helps keep your roof and interior dry from mold and mildew. It also prevents rain and snow from getting into your top structure, plus keeps out birds, squirrels and mice.

Eaves troughs (also known as gutters) are designed to direct the runoff that falls downward from a pitched (angled) roof so it can flow easily into a downspout and out into your yard. These are essential to ensuring no water or ice gather on your roof shingles.
